So your declaration is implicit in and limited to the DNS data
for the domain?

Doesn't this require this to be true for every domain if it is 
to work for yours? (This would be difficult for some systems I'd imagine.)

Or, if you have a separate mechanism for making this kind of declaration,
how is it to be publicised, invalidated etc.

I hope I understand you, I'm genuinely interested in what kind of
mechanism this might require.

I hope that's not true. Of course the RG may itself be a time-wasting ruse
set up by spammers to waste anti-spammers time. :-)

I'm an administrator on a webmail system with around 100k accounts.
I hate spam. I hate my users complaining.  I need a way to stop
it hurting
